Kabhi bakri ke dudh ki chai pi hai?
Ever tried tea made of goat’s milk?) …
The question came from a colleague of mine just when I was mid way through my first sip of the JDHL tea. Now that was not the best time and way to warn coz all I cud do is gulp down the sip! Only when the bitter liquid (supposed to be tea) hit my throat, I realized the gravity of the warning! It was almost like talcum powder boiled in water with a drop of cheap artificial tea essence, colour and traces of milk just enuf to certify it as tea!! Yaar is se to accha hamari school ki mess ka milk tha!
Oops I missed the most predominant ingredient…Sugar! The amount was already fatal to a diabetic and ppl still asked for more! Couldn’t blame them…coz the rest of the overcooked talcum solution was so freakingly bitter! Well I shoudn’t be complaining coz I rarely availed the ‘luxury’ of the office tea but those who underwent the torture had beautifully adapted to the taste! So much so that they asked for another cup…bravo! The poor peon was often torn between departments where to serve the hot tea first. (coz it worsened as it got cold!)
